Happy Thanksgiving, TV Fanatic readers. Our staff would like to take a few moments on this holiday to acknowledge the shows, characters and overall aspects of television that make us so grateful for our jobs.

With that in mind, we are thankful for...

... the intelligence of The Good Wife.

... Damon Salvatore's mischievous smile.

... how Two and a Half Men gives Charlie Sheen a fictional avenue to effectively play himself, making his real-life dalliances with Capri Anderson even more ridiculous.

... Abed's parents for ignoring him, thereby allowing this Community character to develop such an unusual point of view on life.

Hello? How can u not give thanks to shonda rhimes for giving us an extremely tense and awesome season six and a great start to season seven. For not killing any of the major characters including Izzie!!! For someone creating a series like Hawthorne where the focus is on the nurses and not just the top notch surgeons!!! There is some great tv out there!
